Sugar Hill Happenings

Parents and Guardians,

We’ve had a great start to the school year! Thank you for all of your support. Last year, we launched a fundraising initiative for a new playground—a playground designed to facilitate intentional interaction, foster play, and encourage friendship. We are excited to share that we’ve begun installation on Phase 1 of the playground. The new playground is called Unity Ranch because of the intentional focus on bringing others together through play. Thank you to those of you who gave so generously to this important initiative!

Another one of our early highlights has been the PTO Color Run Fundraiser. We are closing in on our goal of $50,000 as we attempt to raise money to support programs such as the Explore Sugar Hill trips and a new gym floor! As of Friday, August 28, we’ve raised $38,000 with donations from 938 individuals from 34 states. The fundraiser ends on Friday, September 4. I am blown away by the generosity, excitement, and support from our community. Thank you! Below is a mockup of the gym floor.

We are excited to celebrate our student-athletes and our community partnership with the Lanier Athletic Association (LAA)! LAA is a local organization that offers youth sports programs for children ages 3–18 in our community.

From September 1–4, we encourage our students to show their school spirit by wearing their LAA team uniforms or Lanier/Longhorn colors on their designated sport days:

• Tuesday, September 1: Baseball Day ⚾

• Wednesday, September 2: Softball Day 🥎

• Thursday, September 3: Basketball Day 🏀

• Friday, September 4: Football & Cheer Day 🏈

Thank you for your support. It has been a great start to the school year!

Sincerely,

Dr. Nick Boyers
